MK grumbles before stomping his foot. "Oh, I had it up to here with those Speedy Panda delivery brickheads! They've been sabotaging me all week!" The three, Zhara, Tang and sleepy watch the two conplain about their new competitor.
"Those punks with their flash frozen microwave junk! Convenience can never replace a traditional home-cooked family recipe." Pigsy huffs angrily.
MK shrugs, "Yeahhh, but they do... do it quicker." Pigsy glares at him. "All I'm saying is maybe you could afford to pick up the pace."
"Pick up the pace?" Pigsy grumbles. "You're the one delivery driver! You pick up the pace! Every noodle from Pigsy's Noodle Shop is handcrafted from scratch with love, care. It's what our customers have come to expect." He yells.
"Don't worry about me, Pigsy. I'm a loyal customer." Tang chimes in.
"More like a loyal freeloader." Pigsy comments, earning an offended sigh from Tang.
"I'm telling ya', Pigsy. If something doesn't change, we're gonna be run out of business!" MK says
Pigsy: Ah, you two don't get it. I poured my heart into this place. From the pots, to the utensils, even my grandmothers antique WINDOWS!"
A brick is thrown through the same said window, with a note attached.
Tang picks up the brick. "Hmm. "Attention: Pigsy's Noodles-" Zhara rips the note of the brick to read it, she clears her throat. "Prepare for your worst nightmare! We challenge you to Food Wars, to determine which restaurant truly reigns supreme. Signed, Speedy Panda. Huh, free food basically?"
"So, someone gonna tell me what the hell is "Food Wars"."
They look at pigsy. He sighs, "Food Wars. The ultimate arena for chefs to duke it out, where the victors are hailed supreme above all others. Speedy Panda, I accept your challenge!"
"Bit dramatic hm, Pigsy?" Zhara comments.
"This is alot better than the last few weeks, I mean that sleep bug, the huge ass dumpling, umm am I forgetting something?"
Sleepy turns to zhara for an answer.
"Ping pong and pigsy." She sighs tiredly, "That was something alright." Sleepy nods.

A huge crowd has came for this trivial event. Sleepy and Zhara included, the announcer clears his throat,
"Welcome one and all to Food Wars! Today, two teams will compete in three rounds of food combat in order to be crowned Supreme Restaurant Champion. Introducing first for Pigsy's Noodle Shop: Pigsy and his assistant, MK! And their opponents: Speedy Panda Convenience Mart! And its owners: these guys!"
"Yeesh, this guy can go long with talking." Sleepy huffs.
The orange demon reveals himself, " Remember us, Monkey Kid? We're your worst enemies, Jin!"
"And Yin! The gold and silver demons!" The blue one smirks. MK squints his eyes,
"Im sorry, who even are yo-"
Pigsy cuts MK off, "I don't even know you guys! What do ya' got against my restaurant?!"
Yin: So here's the plan, right? We're figure if we put your noodle shop out of business, then Noodle Boy is out of a job.
Jin: And if he's out of a job, he'll starve, which will make him weak and then—
Jin and Yin: We'll finally be able to destroy him! (They both laugh.)

Zhara nudges sleepy awake, who's been asleep on her shoulder. "Its finally the last round." She whispers.
"And the final competition: Mascot combat!"
Pigsy and MK look at eachother confused.
"Uh, say what now?"
They both turn again, to face the laughing siblings who are in a panda mech.
"Yeah, cool. Nice death machine! That ain't got nothing on our..." The boy who was gesturing to the same food truck, that then breaks down and falls apart. He turns to hear the giggling of the two friends. "Okay, so, we might have a little problem." Pigsy is left distraught.
"I can't believe it. I dedicated my life to that shop but now I'm gonna lose it to a couple of Demons, because I was too arrogant to stand down. You were right, MK. No one cares about tradition or centuries-old recipes. They're being forgotten and replaced by instant microwavable junk."
He says w tears welling up. (L tbh)

"No way! I may not understand your irrational love for noodles, or working hard, or being angry all the time, but you are always there when I need you. So it's time for me to return the favor, because Pigsy's Noodles are noodles worth fighting for!"

"I think they really like noodles." Sleepy whispers. Zhara sweatdrops.
"Here... comes..."
"Monkie Pig!" They both say as they transform the junked car into a mech.

"Thats.. definitely something.." Zhara comments.

"You seen the look on their faces when we unveiled our Panda Bot?" Jin says proudly.
"Yeah, I think we got this one in the—" Yin pauses.
"Us little guys are fighting back! Your tyrannical reign over the food sector in this city is over!" MK declares
"No amount of convenience will ever win the hearts of us, food lovers!" Tang says.
"Tang!" Pigsy looks at tang
" I was never gonna vote against you, old friend!" (Old friend is crazy i hate gays/heavyjoke)
"Oh, yeah?"
"Bring it on, little piggy!"

"Thought that accountant lady was gonna end it before any good fight, thankfully those drivers went at them." Zhara says.
Sleepy nods as he's eating noodles,
"Order up!" MK says as he serves pigsy his recipe, "I dont knowbif i got thr brothe right."
" It's all right, kid. You got plenty of time to learn."
